Well as long as we're yucking other people's yum...
People will mock this and then eat some peanut butter 🤢
- Don't try to normalize this abomination. The preparation is as bad as the ingredients.
- Alright. You got me.
  What uhh.... Whatcha got against peanut butter?

Brother. Churchill is dead, brother.

This picture disgusts me so much that I desperately wish I could never see it again.

A bowel contraction sandwich. Thick cut. Kills men over 50. I salute you.

that looks amazing, imma make one tonight
- But with red onion.
  
  omfg I forgot that I was gonna do this and I didn't go the the heb
  also, red onion is good, yellow onion is good, white onion is good, all different but all good.
- Came here to say this!
  
  i'm a liar and I didn't make the sammich. I forgot this was the plan and I got rum instead.

Europe: "terrorized and colonized the world to get spices" Also Europe: "serves up absolute disgusting food like this"
What the fuck was it all for?!?!
- British Empire: Steals all the worlds spices
  Also British Empire: Refuses to use any of them
- The people who got rich pillaging the world weren't the ones who ate like this.
- UK isn't Europe it's just some shitty island
  
  Shitty islands
  
  And yet somehow food is the only place their culture falls behind.
  I know what I said.
- Different parts of Europe
  
  No, exactly the same parts of Europe. Both the Dutch and the English were know for their spice trade and are known for their awful food. The rest of Europe has better food and terrorized and colonized for other reasons.
- Isn't alfredo just greasy milk
  
  Actual Alfredo has no dairy added other than cheese

They're doing it for the gains.

No one was putting that much cheese on a ploughman's during the war.

Onion a little thick but fine I'll give you that but the cheese??? Good Lord man!
- Cheese isn't even good when it gets that thick. It takes on an unpleasant texture. And in a sandwich like that it would be ruinous to the bread. You would at least have to slice it thinner and layer it.

I dunno... that looks like a nice simple sandwich.

Imagining what the texture of that would feel like while eating it upsets me.
- Not sure about the onion (prefer them pickled myself), but the rest looks fine. It's a big-ass chunk of (hopefully extra mature) cheddar and some bread and butter. Nowt wrong wi' that.
  
  To be fair Americans are incapable of eating any food which aren't the texture of blended babyfood, so them being upset at a little texture in food isn't really that surprising.
  
  That's what I was thinking. Fresh onion is a little to crisp. I'd go with pickled onion or maybe a thin layer of diced shallots.

If it's a nice bread and cheese, it's fucking amazing with a cup of tea.
- Cheese and onion. They go well together.

What kind of herba mystica was used?

This is at a restaurant. Someone paid money for cheese and raw onion on bread. What are we doing here?
- I can't wait until you find out what wine is.
- Probably drinking first and eating secondarily
  
  There’s not enough booze in the world to make me rawdog an onion like this.
- Pubs aren't restaurants. If your pub has menus on the table after 7pm it's not a pub. It might be a bar, depends how much they're persuading people a pint of shite lager should cost.
  
  How do you feel about gastropubs?
- That's a pub not a restaurant
  
  Is it a place where you can exchange money for food while you sit down at a table? Semantics.
  
  This whole thread feels like that food court argument from Mall Rats, and I'm here for it.
  
  So then replace the word restaurant with pub then, doesn't change the message.
  
  It's the same damn thing
  There's only so many words in the English language for "a place you can get a meal at", you wanna go over em all?
  And yes I've been to actual midcountry pubs, they're bars with good dining space usually situated in a village so people can walk there. They often have playgrounds, fuckin, somehow.

Even if you did though you could spice this up cut up the onions fry them up a little bit melt that cheese and that bread on a pan. boom! you got a nice grilled cheese with some grilled onions
- Raw onion is better than fried onion(I may be alone in this though). I do agree with melting the cheese, or just add more too it. This is a travesty.
  
  get some garlic in there too, in for a good time.
  
  Raw onion is tasty but my tummy doesn't like it as much as I do, so I'll usually go for fried
- ITs A MeLt [insert spongebob chicken meme here]

Looks drier than Ben Shaprio's wife. Jesus Christ, man... Couldn't you lube it up with some condiments or something? This criminal act you call a sandwich should come with a choking hazard label.
- It is you who do not see...
  The onion is the lube, the onion is life.
- I think they’re trying to catch some shiny Eevee or something.
- I'm absolutely going to steal and search for a reason to use that first line
  
  How's the weather where you are?
- The concept of putting condiments into sandwiches so that they're not dry AF hasn't made it to large parts of Europe.
  
  We use butter. It also helps that our bread isn't absolutely disgusting.

That fat slice of onion looks brutal af.
- You misspelled "delicious."
  
  No they didn't.
  
  You must've hated spelling bees as a kid

I see nothing wrong with this.
- Oi u wot m8
  
  Jus a sammich, innit?

My ancestors trail recipes are more varied than this, and half of them are just normal foods with chili poured over it. Why are you like this England actual cavemen had more varried foods, at least chop up the onion a bit more and grill the whole thing.

Just the good people of the Blur Boar Pub doing god's work, steadily battling shrinkflation one cob at a time. https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/news/leicester-news/leicester-pub-goes-viral-gargantuan-9596401
"A Leicester city centre pub has gone viral online on account of its humongous cheese and onion cobs. The manager of The Blue Boar pub on Millstone Lane, Jo Kearley, said they get comments “every single day” on their gargantuan size, but admits that they can’t now start making them smaller. She said: “We don’t want to be labelled with the whole ‘shrinkflation’ thing. Our sort-of saying is that we aren’t ‘just a cob shop’, we also sell beer.”

My life is somewhat like the cheese section of a European supermarket. One half is moldy and the other half is not affordable for me.
- You can afford the moldy stuff?!?

Is there a reason they couldn't heat any of that up?
- They probably don’t have an oven. It’s a pub.
  
  They dont have ovens in pub? Like They don't serve food?
- Blitz Blackout?
  
  Use the heat from the burning rumble outside? I swear I worry about that lot.

"americans have no sense of taste"

3am munchies joined the chat

Throw it in a grill and it's much better.
- It wants to be Cuban pressed
  
  Yeah, I don't know what those grills with lid that grill it from both sides are called.
- that is what i was thinking, you grill it, melt the cheese and sautee the onion a bit and it would be fantastic. same ingredients, not much work.

Slap in some mayo and it looks like a pretty decent lunch. 🤷
- What, no mustard? ☹️
  
  Ya man, a bit of mustard and I'd crush this sandwich

Where's the pickle?!
- I'm an USAian and that was my first thought too! "Put some branston on that and it'd be an alright lunch." Seriously though, at least put some mayo on there or something, my mouth is dry just looking at it.
- A question for the ages... Or is it?
- That's the surprise

I absolutely love a good ploughman's and the lack of effort in this one feels like a personal insult towards me

bruh

The worst part of the sandwich is how much butter they put on the bread .

Churchill is dead is a sentence that always will bring me joy. Fucking genocide ass removed.
- Are you referring to the Indian famine? Or something else?
  
  Yes, also for being part of an occupying force, and an all round piece of shit.
